question for those that understand Nostr Protocol

Are relays only storing the latest Kind=3 events from any given pubkey?. I'm checking my kind=3 events since the beginning of the year in couple of relays and I only see 1 record as if my contact list and my relays list are only kept with the latest version and all other records deleted. just checking

I don't know how each relay implementation works, but I always thought it made sense to only store recent data, except for profile and other more "static" data.

But I would assume for paid services that could be different.

All of them store the data at lest for now. If they wouldn’t store then this would not work.

Imagine this.. you wrote this 4 hours ago .. your relays got the message.. but they will only distribute it to those with open websocket connections querying it

If my mobile app was not open then how can I receive your message?.

So now I’m receiving it because I’m connecting now, I’m publishing a subscription to a relay that queries all events from certain point onwards

So for events kind 1 they need to shore .. but maybe for kind3 that is the contacts they don’t need to store older versions and only keep the latest recevied one
